Cheetah Twins Arrive at Denver Zoo


Cheetah twins have arrived at the Denver Zoo and can now be seen by the public.

The brothers were born in October 2010, at the Wilds, a wildlife conservation center near Zanesville, Ohio. They were moved to the Denver Zoo because the nearly full-grown animals needed more space, according to a release from the zoo.

The two young cheetahs are named Marvin and Mojo, and replace the zoo's last cheetah, an eight-year-old male named Barafu, who was sent to the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Va., to breed.
